Sweeten Up Your Summer with A Sparkling Strawberry Cocktail‏

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

The summer is coming to an end, but there’s still time to enjoy these last few hot days with a cool, refreshing summer cocktail.

Cupcake Vineyards is happy to help you kick back and relax as the end of summer arrives. The names alone of their wine like Red Velvet and Angel Food make my mouth water!

Check out some of my favorites: 

2014 Cupcake Vineyards Moscato d'Asti

Any occasion can be worthy of a toast with our Moscato D’Asti. Vibrant and expressive with dominant floral notes and hints of bright fruit flavors including peach, tropical fruits and lychee.

2012 Cupcake Vineyards Red Velvet

A deliciously rich blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Petite Sirah, our Red Velvet blend delivers over-the-top aromas of chocolate, deep dark blackberries and luscious red fruits that follow through to the palate, finishing with a hint of coconut and creamy mocha.

Cupcake Prosecco

Raise a glass of this refreshing Prosecco that sparkles with fine effervescence. Aromas of white peach, grapefruit and honeydew melon lead to flavors of creamy ripe lemon, refined citrus and a toasted brioche finish. They craft this wine using only the best Glera grapes – the official grape of Prosecco – from their vineyards in Italy. Their process centers on the charmat method, in which the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks to produce its characteristic clean finish.

Try this Sparkling Summer Strawberry Cocktail made with Cupcake Prosecco, strawberries and orange juice, to toast away those last summer nights.

For this recipe, you’ll need:

· 1 bottle of Cupcake Prosecco

· 2 cups of strawberries, hulled

· 2 tbsp. water

· ¼ cup of orange juice

· Mint sprigs for garnish (optional)

It’s simple: Puree strawberries and water in blender until smooth. In a pitcher, combine the strawberry puree with orange juice and Cupcake Prosecco. Garnish with orange slices and mint. Finally, sit back, relax and enjoy the last days of summer!
